Just liberalise access to postal voting. – Tim Durbridge
Covid shouldn’t disenfranchise any voters. From 10 days prior to the election, any adult requiring a RAT or PRC test could be supplied a pre authorised postal vote envelope, which they could then lodge via post. It is legal and available already. I would think the staff manning the distribution and testing stations could easily add them to the packs they supply now. – Darren Parbs
I would suggest that the voting at the state election will be an even bigger mess than your article suggests because many electors will decide that after the collective Pangallo-inspired stunt to hamstring the state’s ICAC they will vote informal, to provide a vote of protest to their decision that they are not prepared to be held to account. – Jerome van der Linden

Would it not be much better to provide families/individuals with vouchers to purchase RATs or household supplies? Some people are living on the poverty line as they have not been able to work. – Patricia Rich
Commenting on the story: ‘He’s an unknown to us’: Libs finally find candidate in key seat
I noted the comment that support for Fraser Ellis was Maitland-centric. That sort of statement indicates a lack of knowledge of the widespread support for Fraser all the way from south of Warooka to north of Kadina and over into the Wakefield plains and beyond.
The fact that a few of his supporters come from the Maitland area is not to be used as a measure for his widespread support right across the electorate. The suggestion that it is Maitland-centric is false. Anyone who has had experience with the Liberal Party in this electorate would know these facts. – Malcolm Eglinton
